On tonight's evidence I think we were lucky that Jota didn't start.

Watching the incident in slow motion, it's interesting to note when Salah actually begins to scream - way later than he would do if the scream were genuine.

His feet weren’t swept from under him, he wasn’t pushed in the back, he didn’t prevent any kind of skill. It’s utterly pathetic on so many levels, you defend that you don’t get football
I've already said the fall was simulated. I'm not saying we should applaud that, but that we should be looking to hold the refs accountable for regularly not blowing the whistle just because a player doesn't go down when fouled. If you can't recognise that the fully honest players who stay on their feet are being punished by referees assuming they therefore haven't been fouled, you don't get football. If you can't see that Masuaku—irrespective of whether Salah goes down or not—commits a foul here when rashly trying to win the ball, you don't get football.

For the record, I actually think the nature of penalties needs changing. At the moment, minor fouls at the fringes of the area (like Masuaku's) are disproportionately costly, and the value of drawing a foul there instead of trying to keep the play going becomes too high. Maybe there should be a smaller semi-circle for the penalty area, or maybe penalties should only be awarded when there was a clear goalscoring opportunity, or something.

Cheating is the way to go, it is encouraged now in football. Mo Salah is just another in the long line of cheating c**** that get away with it.
